About the event

Quantum starts with a place to begin.

Quantum Tesseract is an official host of Qiskit Fall Fest 2026. The program brings learners and professionals together for accessible lessons, live conversations, demonstrations, and hands-on work.

No previous quantum computing experience is required. The path begins with foundations and progresses toward running circuits and exploring how quantum devices are designed.
